An aulos (Ancient Greek) or tibia (Latin) was ancient Greek wind instrument, depicted often in art and also attested by archaeology. Though aulos is often erroneously translated as "flute", it was a reed instrument, and its sound -- described as "penetrating, insisting and exciting"[5]-- was more akin to that of the bagpipes, with a chanter and (modulated) drone. Like the Great Highland Bagpipe, theaulos has been used for martial music, [6]but it is more frequently depicted in other social settings. It was the standard accompaniment of the passionate elegiac poetry. It also accompanied physical activities such as wrestling matches, the broad jump, the discus throw and to mark the rowing cadence on triremes, as well as sacrifices and dramas.[4] Plato associates it with the ecstatic cults of Dionysus and the Korybantes, banning it from his Republic but reintroducing it in "Laws".
